Alison Litherland is a painter working in oils and acrylics. She is based at Cambridge Artworks.

Alison's practice can be summed up as 'put paint on canvas, see what happens'. Inspired by remote empty spaces, the sea and the sky, wild weather, distant hills, lost industrial  landscapes and the whirling of sea birds in flight, she aims to create a feeling of yearning for the place that is not quite seen. The paint is loosely applied; the sense of place is shifting and uncertain.

And now access to the wild places is not possible I have been concentrating on urban sketches of Cambridge buildings - seeing interest in the often overlooked - rooftops and alleyways.
